Oklahoma and Michigan fans rallied on OU’s campus Saturday morning for ESPN’s College Game Day.

The event brought out thousands of fans from both Oklahoma and Michigan, including plenty of camaraderie, music and tailgating.

“I didn’t camp out or anything, but I was still able to get a pretty good view of everything,” said OU student Antwan Edwards. 

Ted Gardner, a Wolverines fan, said he likes taking pictures with opposing fans.

“Everybody’s been really nice. Some of them come up to us and talk to us, wanting to take pictures, and anybody that comes up to us – we want to talk to them, and I’m enjoying it,” Gardner shared. 

Corey Sutter, also known as “Scissorhands,” shouted out to the Michigan fans. 

“They came real deep and they're real courteous; real kind, but we ain't kind right now. It's gonna be a dogfight. We're angry,” he said in jest.

Emilee Robbins, who is also an OU fan, added, “I will say, there is a Michigan fan that has a sign that says ‘Braum’s is mid’ and those are fighting words here in Oklahoma, so that definitely should fuel our team for tonight.” 

Kick off is at 6:30 PM CST.
